What are people's thoughts on whether Whyte deserves another shot at a world title? 

Dillian Whyte being pushed towards a fight against a champion is a sign of the lack of quality in the division, imo.

Wilder v Ortiz has been confirmed for March 3rd in New York. Should be a really good fight, biggest test for Wilder by miles. 

Would assume the winner will fight winner of Joshua v Parker in late Summer / Autumn.

 

Ortiz tested +ve for two banned substances. Claimed they were for high blood pressure, but didn't disclose that prior to the test, & got a $25k fine. That the WBC are going to let him fight with this condition is nothing short of gobsmacking; never mind avoiding a ban.

Hope you're right but if Wilder does end up fighting Ortiz and wins and Joshua defeats Parker, that's the toughest fight in the sport to negotiate since Mayweather - Pacquiao.

What condition? Can’t fight because you’ve got hypertension???

Anyone seen anything about Spence Jr. vs. Peterson being televised? Was hoping it'd be on Sky Sports as he's been linked with a fight with Amir Khan. 

I see Jorge Linares is on BoxNation the following Saturday - disappointing for me but I'll hopefully get a stream. Usyk vs Briedis to be shown free on ITV Box Office on the same night.

Can only find that it’s being shown on showtime. Should be able to find a link.
Didn’t realise Usyk v Briedis was free in box office, quite confusing but certainly not complaining!

I couldn't seem to find one of the quarter finals of the cruiserweight series on ITV Box Office when it was free (can't remember which one). But I think I found out after it that it wasn't shown live.

Josh Taylor fighting at the Hydro on March 3rd, opponent announced tomorrow.  

Must be a big name to fill the Hydro......

 

Burns?!

 

Struggling to think who else it could be. Yeggit has a fight lined up already. Indongo a possibility? It was previously suggested that it wouldn't be Catterall.

 

Given it's at the Hydro and you'd probably assume he'd need to travel for a title shot I think Burns is the most likely.

I might be wrong but I thought Yigit was planning to drop down a weight and vacate the European belt? 

I think if it was Burns then i think it would have got out in the media by now. Burns wasn’t fancying a fight with Taylor after the O’Hara Davies fight either.

edit: hope it is Burns though.
